What is culturally different between say Bonnyrigg Rose and Whitehill Welfare? or Preston Athletic and Musselburgh Athletic?
Does Rosewell have electricity yet?

3 options i reckon.
1. They have put a last minute application in and are hoping to get it ratified by the membership
2. They have been told by the EOSL that they will accept a late application
3. Hoping for a no to make the issue go away (unlikely!)
To me once the Juniors said they were going to discuss going into the pyramid and most clubs wanted to do this per the questionnaire then I would be trying to get out as soon as possible ! or run the risk of being in EOS 2 !

I'm not sure if it's been posted already but Musselburgh announced a special meeting for the 4th of April
Why would Burgh call a meeting to discuss these issues after the closing date to join? :/

So let me get this right ....
Easthouses said no to the pryamid but have applied and Arniston said yes to the pryamid but they or their fans said no? To me the Arniston commitee should just pack in now. There is zero sense in Mayfield and Gorebridge. Ty

There is every reason to question aspects of the way Junior football has been run. However, some of the criticism levelled at TJ is OTT as he only went by the decision of member clubs, you can almost visualize the baying mob. Also the glee with which some embrace the predicted downfall of the Juniors is quite disconcerting. Comments about the Junior Cup becoming West Cup etc. Just to put some perspective, the Scottish Junior Cup an established prestigious tournament with a very proud history which the rest of non league football never had. It should be kept expanded and promoted within all the change, something that the EOSL, SOSL, LL, or HL, if only they would see, should concede and be part of. Only one aspect in the whole saga, but I feel could be make or break for the whole kit and caboodle.
The core of the Ayrshire clubs caused this to happen. Always blocking things so this was always going to happen. Yeah the prestigious cup - without a sponsor but I agree that there are cracking days in the Scottish Junior cup. Here is hoping that there is a national cup of sorts WHEN all the juniors move into the pyramid system.

Yeah financing is a major issue as the junior set up doesnt pay the clubs for success to reinvest in facilities with poor prize money for winning things! TJ that problem has been caused by yourself and the exec commitee. Football at all levels has moved on and yeah the product is good (at top end) but its more than that - There is a bigger picture.

All it means is the SJFA will probably have a meeting with the SFA. SJFA ask to join at level 5, SFA piss themselves laughing, meeting over.
Aye and the SJFA will have a list of demands - which will be impossible to achieve but will then say - We tried, we really did but they just couldnt agree to guarantee world peace

Here's another idea:
Resurrect the idea of a Junior East+West Superduper League with 8+8 top teams from those two regions. There would be better justification for it to alongside the LL at Step 5 as the majority of clubs seem to want. After a season or two, the Superduper League and LL could possibly amalgamate and form either a LL East and a LL West, or LL Divs 1 and 2.
Ayrshire clubs didnt want that a few years back. Cos they are going to lose control they will want that now? !

why should they be allowed to gain any advantage against the brave pioneers who are embracing change against the will of the dinosaurs? If you stay you lose.
